Well it seems my Alfa is no more

They used a booster (all on camera) on my drive and took at just after 2am

Absolutely gutted would be putting it mild

I highly doubt but should anyone hear or see anything please message me

Should anyone need more info on car

Factory tracker was pulled off and dumped in the picture as last location

I had fitted from factory the 21in wheels, red calipers, electric towbar, autonomous driving, Harmon speakers and roof rails

It's a 2022 model although had a private plate

I went to the location twice Inc with a Sargent police officer. No car or tracker could be found despite what the app and pic below shows

ANPR pinged another vehicle on A129 heading towards wickford Reg LS67WNO silver focus. That was the last report

Sorry to hear about this.
When you say booster do you mean something that picks up on the key?

If so was the key in a signal blocker pouch?

Theft via the Radar port is very well known by now. Have a look the radar vulnerability post on Alfaowner dot com for the only solution.

So a little update as of end December

Alfa was found along with a few others by police. On top of this police have called and have got a good investigation going for the group and ring leader with the main culprits to the best of my knowledge now caught

With all that being said I went to see the car and collected my belongings. I've been paid out now but have the opportunity to bid and possibly get the car back

It's been partly striped with the ceiling, passenger and boot pulled up where they've accessed various fuses, trackers, battery etc

Depending on the price IF I get it back can anyone on here advise of some Alfa specialists ideally in the south east that could put the car back to how it was within reason?

I don't ideally want to go to a main dealer (I used to work for one so have my reasons)

It's a lot of what it's right now. The money I think it'll go for I could buy something else, another brand etc but the spec and options I had on the Alfa made it very good for my personal circumstances. Looking at various Maserati and Alfa replacements they aren't doing it for me

You may find that you don't have the same affection for it second time around, sadly move on.

There are several Alfa specialists in the South East, but not sure any of them have any depth of expertise in the Stelvio.

A for Alfa in Aylesbury are excellent, but they are REALLY busy.

Jamie Porter (Alfaworkshop) in Royston are also excellent.

Unfortunately AlfaAid have closed.

There are others, including at least one which is well known, but I wouldn't use them.

AlfaAid are not closed and have new premises. You can contact them at their usual e mail/phone numbers and they are located still quite near to Maidenhead.

They are working on my car as we speak although I note that their website has yet to be updated.
